This NYC vintage vault is a source of electronics for movies and TV shows

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributors Kevin and Stan who share the following article from Gizmodo. Stan notes:

You (and your readers) often comment on radios in movies and tv shows,
so I thought ya'll might be interested in the following article:

"Where Movies Get Their Vintage Electronics"

Turns out, some come from an electronic waste recycling company in NYC,
which repairs and resells some of the waste they collect, puts the best
specimens in a museum/prop library for movies and TV show, and the rest
is recycled in an environmentally conscious way without ending up in a
landfill.

Fascinating! That vault looks amazing! I think it's brilliant that set designers reach for vintage radios and I'm glad the vault has a ready supply!
